Hugely popular and, let's face it, overrated series of films created by George Lucas. Lucas has a round head but has grown and trimmed a beard to affect a chin. PBR TARDIS - Doctor Who's time travel machine which is bigger on the inside than on the outside and looks like an old fashioned police telephone call box.

It is a thrown pass behind the head and was originally called a "Star Wars" because it gives the illusion that you are using "The Force."

Star Wars is a science fantasy and fictional galaxy created by writer/producer/director George Lucas during the 1970s. This epic trilogy began with the film Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope), which was released on May 25, 1977, by 20th Century Fox. The film became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, spawning five more feature films, three spin-off films, five television series and an extensive collection of licensed books, comics, video games, action figures, trading cards, card games, backpacks, and other products, all of which are set within a fictional "galaxy far, far away."
An expanded radio dramatization of the original Star Wars trilogy was produced in 1981, 1983, and 1996. The first two radio series, based on A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, were produced and broadcast by National Public Radio as part of NPR Playhouse. A dramatization of Return of the Jedi was produced by most of the same team and also broadcast on NPR.
